boost/iterator.hpp is another candidate. It's currently in Iterator but is a 
workaround header that does not depend on anything.

There is also boost/detail/iterator.hpp, in Detail. It's also a workaround 
header. It conditionally includes type traits and MPL headers though. But I 
think that it only does that on MSVC 6, which we no longer support (the 
#ifdef is on BOOST_MSVC_STD_ITERATOR).

boost/iterator/iterator_traits.hpp, in turn, only depends on 
boost/detail/iterator.hpp.
